they arent good yet bro.... they are actually slower then 64fx current line..... waste of time.

[S.W.A.T. 2.0]

Yeah, but they tested an Opteron processor downclocked (which uses slower memory/mobo) instead of an actual A64 X2. Also, they tested what would be an equivilent of a 4400+, the fastest X2 will be 4800+. Only gripe I have is the price/performance. Looks like the FX will still edge that out.

FX beats the piss out of everything, FX is just beastly.

[S.W.A.T. 2.0]

Well...yeah. For all intensive purposes the FX line is 2nd to none. Of course, I'd love to see an FX take on a dual Opteron system...but then again, not many ppl are going to spend $2000 for just the processors...

Still, the FX won't hold the throne as top dog forever...they'll be sticking with just 1 core and eventually that'll catch up to them. For the time being though, they can't be beat.

[S.W.A.T. 2.0]

It said they were leaving the FX's single core...maybe they just meant for now...I'll read it more in depth later on.
